Laser 3-Chip DLP™, 50,000 lumens, native 4K resolution

The PT-RQ50K 50,000 lumen 3-Chip DLP™ laser projector incorporates an ultra-sharp native 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), offering new potential for creating transcendent experiences across live events and themed entertainment. A single RQ50 projector offers the same output as multiple lower brightness projectors, saving on installation and set-up time.

Superb colour reproduction with red and blue lasers

Thanks to the deployment of separate red and blue SOLID SHINE laser/phosphor light sources, the RQ50 delivers an advanced level of colour reproduction, providing vibrant and immersive images that will engage and delight audiences.

High reliability with dual power and backup input

The projector is simple to install and operate thanks to pre-installed geometry manager software and a new easy-read information LCD monitor. In addition to dual laser drives and backup video inputs, the RQ50 also features a redundant power supply to ensure total reliability.

Up to 20,000 hours maintenance-free operation

Thanks to further improvements to Panasonic’s unique SOLID SHINE Laser cooling system, a hermetically sealed, dust-resistant optical block and long lasting engine with filter-less design, the RQ50 can achieve 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, even in extreme environments.

Geometry Manager Pro, colour matching and edge blending

The RQ50 projector comes with Panasonic’s Geometry Manager Pro software pre-installed, which dramatically reduces set up and installation time. Upgrade kits are also available to enable geometric adjustment for 3D mapping (ET-UK20) and for auto-screen adjustment (ET-CUK10), enabling you to set up multiple projectors simultaneously and streamline installation workflows.

IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast contents, NORMAL Mode, Dynamic Contrast [3], under conditions with 35 °C (95 °F), 700 m (2,297 ft) above sea level, and 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter. Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment. 4 Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit. 5 The operating environment temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) if the projector is used at an altitude between 1,400 m (4,593 ft) and 4,200 m (13,780 ft). 6 When optional AJ-WM50 wireless module is attached, operating temperature range becomes 0–40 °C (32–104 °F). *7 When using the projector at an altitude lower than 2,700 m (8,858 ft) above sea level, and the operating environment temperature becomes 30 °C (86 °F) or higher, the light output may be reduced to protect the projector. When using the projector at an altitude between 2,700 m (8,858 ft) and 4,200 m (13,780 ft), and the operating environment temperature becomes 25 °C (77 °F) or higher, the light output may be reduced to protect the projector.
